Katie Langston is a doubter by nature but a believer by choice. She believes in the power of grace, freedom, authenticity, good food, bad movies, and Americana music. Born and raised in the LDS church, she considers herself a dual citizen of Mormonism and mainline Protestantism–particularly Lutheranism, with its robust emphasis on grace. She and her husband, Lanny, are the parents of two little girls. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, reading, running, taking day trips, and watching the handful of television programs she can’t live without.

Brittany Mangelson
is just an average gal from Utah who dove head first into a faith transition in 2013. She has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Utah State University, is the mother of 5 year old twins and their sly, but adorable little brother. She is a lover of books and currently devours every spiritual memoir she can get her hands on. She considers herself a cotton candy connoisseur, is a terrible cook, and can usually be found wearing a striped shirt. She believes in grace, the worth of all persons, and in early 2015 she made the metaphorical trek back across the plains and rejoined her sisters and brothers of the reorganization. Community of Christ is her faith home and she’s excited for the journey ahead.
